Happy and healthy home learning
We pride ourselves on being a happy and healthy place to learn when we are at school. One of our recent tasks has been thinking about how to stay healthy – particularly important at this difficult time. We’ve had some lovely posters that children have designed.
We have also enjoyed seeing the practical maths learning all about fractions. Cutting into thirds was tricky!
We love seeing your creative sides too. Tie-dye is a great skill to learn. What a fab t-shirt!
Shape hunt
We loved listening to ‘No-Bot the Robot with No Bottom’ on Monday. Did you? Thank you for sending in some photographs of your robots; we’ve seen some super robots so far. It’s not too late to send us an e-mail if you’ve built one too. When we looked at your robots, we could see lots of different shapes.
Today, we’d like you to go on a shape hunt around your house or when you go out for a walk.
You might want to draw the shapes and tick them off when you see them, or you could take a picture of the different shapes that you find.
Talk about the properties of shapes. How do you know it’s a triangle? Can you count the number of sides and corners?
Let us know how many shapes you find. Remember to visit us again on Friday. Until then, we’ll leave you with this shape song to watch!

Freya has done a great job presenting her ideas about sustainability. She talks about how we dispose of our waste and the impact that plastic has on our oceans.
If anyone else has done a great poster, please send it to me – I’d love to see it.
If you haven’t been in touch with me for a while, send me a quick email to let me know what you’ve been up to.

Thomas only started the 13 Storey Tree House today and he’s already on page 120. The way he’s going, he won’t need this brilliant book mark that he made.

· Find a shell or other object and ask your family to join you in a circle.

· Look at the person next to you and tell them why you would miss them if you didn’t see them for a day. “I would miss…because…”
